Clear Renovation Communication

How Bay Point Contracting Uses JobTread to Keep Projects on Track

Clear communication is one of the most important parts of a successful renovation. That’s why we use JobTread, a construction management platform that keeps our team aligned and your project on track. From daily logs to timelines and documentation, JobTread helps us deliver organized, efficient renovations – without the confusion.

Daily Logs

Our site leads complete daily logs in JobTread to document everything that happens on-site. This includes notes, photos, updates, and any issues that arise during the day. These logs allow the project manager, office staff, and clients to stay up to date without needing to be physically present every day.

Daily logs are also our internal record of progress. They help with scheduling, tracking deliveries, and identifying concerns early. If something changes on site, the team knows immediately and can adjust plans if needed.

What this means for you:

  • You don’t need to chase updates
  • The team stays aligned and accountable
  • There’s always a record of what’s happening and when

Project Scheduling

We build a detailed construction schedule in JobTread that includes every major milestone – from demolition to final inspections. It outlines when trades are scheduled, when materials are expected, and when specific work will be completed.

This schedule is updated as needed and used by our entire team. Everyone knows what’s happening and when. This helps avoid gaps between trades and prevents bottlenecks, especially when coordinating inspections or specialty materials like millwork or countertops.

Why it matters:

  • Your project stays on track
  • Fewer surprises or last-minute changes
  • Better coordination = fewer delays

Team Communication

With multiple team members involved – designer, estimator, project manager, site lead, office manager – it’s easy for messages to get lost. JobTread centralizes all communication, so every team member has access to the same information, notes, and updates in real time.

We don’t rely on text messages or separate email threads. Instead, important project details are stored in one place, reducing confusion and saving time. This structure also ensures continuity if a team member is away – nothing falls through the cracks.

The result:

  • Smooth handoffs between team members
  • Fewer errors due to missing information
  • Faster decision-making throughout the project

Documentation and Drawings

Accurate execution starts with accurate information. JobTread stores all relevant drawings, specifications, photos, and documentation in one central location, so the site team always has the current version on hand.

If changes are made during design or if updated permit drawings are issued, we upload them immediately. This keeps the entire team aligned and prevents costly mistakes or rework caused by using outdated plans.

What this means for you:

  • Fewer errors on-site
  • Faster resolution of questions
  • Confidence that the team is working from the latest plans

Budget Tracking and Change Orders

Although your price is fixed before construction begins, sometimes things change. You might want to upgrade a finish or add something mid-project. When this happens, we prepare a formal change order in JobTread.

Each change order outlines the cost, timeline impact, and details of the change. You review and approve everything before work begins. JobTread tracks these changes and keeps everything documented and organized.

There may also be cases where something unexpected is uncovered – like structural damage inside a wall – that couldn’t have been known in advance. In these cases, we’ll walk you through the issue, present options, and issue a change order if needed.

This gives you:

  • Clarity and transparency at every step
  • No verbal agreements or surprise costs
  • A clear record of all approved changes

How JobTread Helps You

You don’t need to manage the renovation process yourself, but we encourage you to use your JobTread client portal. Through it, you can see your project timeline, daily logs with photos, messages, and financial details. This keeps you informed without the stress of tracking every moving part.

Behind the scenes, we use JobTread to coordinate trades, manage documents, and track progress – making sure your renovation stays on track from start to finish.

You benefit from:

  • Real-time updates in one easy place
  • Clear communication with our team
  • A renovation that feels smooth, organized, and predictable

Communication That Works

Renovations don’t have to be chaotic. With the right tools in place, we manage the details, stay organized, and communicate effectively every step of the way. That’s the value of JobTread – and it’s how we deliver stress-free renovations with confidence.
